Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer
in water in the name of the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith
in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour,
the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life,
and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus.
It is a testimony to his faith in the final resurrection of the dead.
Being a church ordinance,
it is prerequisite to the privileges of church membership
and to the Lord's Supper.
